Run Forrest Run... the Stock Market Edition
Mama always said the stock market was like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get. And this year with President Trump and his tariffs it's been like running a marathon – sometimes you're ahead sometimes you're behind. This here 'Magnificent Seven' group of stocks – Alphabet Amazon Apple Meta Microsoft Nvidia and Tesla – they were doing real good like winning a ping pong match against China helped the S&P 500 do a jig. But then these tariffs came along like a storm cloud over a barbecue.
Apple Pie and Tariffs: Not a Great Combo
Seems like some of these companies like Apple and Nvidia they got hit harder than Bubba in a shrimp boat. They rely on things made all over the world and those tariffs they’re like putting a fence around a free range chicken. On the other hand Meta and Microsoft they're selling more of them digital services like ads and software and they did okay. Sort of like how Jenny always seemed to find her way no matter what.
Nvidia's Back Alright!
But guess what? Nvidia the chipmaker they're back in the green! Like Lieutenant Dan getting his legs back or something like that. They're selling lots of them fancy chips to Saudi Arabia and it seems like President Trump making deals is helping them out. Maybe those tariff agreements are like shaking hands after a ping pong game – everyone feels a little better.
Boeing's Taking Flight Again
And speaking of deals Boeing they got a big one with Qatar Airways. A whole lot of airplanes like a whole lotta shrimp on Bubba Gump's menu. President Trump said it's the biggest deal ever for Boeing. Seems like they needed it cause they haven't been making money since 2018 so that is good. As mama says 'Stupid is as stupid does' and Boeing has been doing pretty stupid.
I Like You Too Much
I even heard President Trump met with some big shots in Saudi Arabia like the Crown Prince. He even told him 'I like you too much.' I reckon that's how you make friends like sharing a Dr. Pepper on a hot day. I am not sure how that works because I have only met one president and that was Richard Nixon and he didn't tell me he liked me too much. He just gave me the weirdest handshake ever.
Gold Rush in the Deep Sea?
And get this they're going after minerals at the bottom of the ocean! President Trump wants to find them minerals and all sorts of minerals. They call it a 'deep sea gold rush.' Seems like everyone's looking for something just like me looking for Jenny. Only this time it's more like digging for buried treasure. Like finding a twenty dollar bill in your winter coat.

Stocks could go back to April lows. I thought April already passed.
